Hunted The Demon's Forge (1x DVD5) *INNO+FreeArc*

1) Extract 'HTDF_1xDVD5.7z' contents

2) Re-encode the biks videos to a ~ 40-45% bitrate of original ones and then move them to 'HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES' folder

3) Launch FreeArc and then compress the Game's installation folder contents:
Code:

Output archive: HTDF
Compression: -mx -ld800m
Make exe: Not checked

4) Move 'HTDF.arc' to 'HTDF_DVD5' folder

5) Burn or make iso with label name of your choice

Yep,don't re-encode and then move them in the 'HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES' folder.
Obviously using this way it doesn't fit on dvd5, the final size will be around ~ 5.20 gb

The original movies folder is Hunted the demons forge\DFGAME\MOVIES
In this Conversion Hunted the demons forge\MOVIES
root problem? Only Move Movies folder to DFGAME folder

after re-encoding the biks move them to the HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES folder. The setup.exe
expects them in that folder.

just like the instructions say ;)

yes,my biks folder is in HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES but after installation finish , the movies folder is in Game's installation folder not in \DFGAME

make a DFGAME folder first, then the MOVIES subfolder. See if it installs correctly that way?

that way creates errors in instalation ,,,,,,,,,, now works 100% but mi freearc archive includes the original movies folder :) and the movies folder in the dvd structure contains dummy bik files ...

thats another way of 'fixing' it.. hopefully peter reads these posts, and corrects whatever the error may be ?!

edit

How can it fit on dvd5 the game folder is over 10GB with the original movies??

I tried installing the Peter's way and it works! I just only need to move Movies folder to DFGame folder then the movies work well. :cool:

But Peter, what's your final size?
my arc size is 3.87 GB and re-encoded movies 700 MB. So total size is 4.47 GB (doesn't fit on 1xDVD5). I convert the movies to 40% of original size, and remix all audio tracks back into reencoded biks. :confused:

@dudul search game's folder for *fra.*, *.fra, *esn.*, *.esn files (and so on, leave only your lang, *int.*, *.int are english ones) and delete them. It's ~220MB per one lang
